Pirmā Samuela 15
1 Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: Tas Kungs mani sūtījis, tevi par ķēniņu svaidīt pār Viņa ļaudīm, pār Israēli. Un nu klausi Tā Kunga vārdu balsi.
[One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es to gribu piemeklēt, ko Amaleks Israēlim darījis, ka viņš pret to ir cēlies uz ceļa, kad (Israēls) nāca no Ēģiptes.
Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left Egypt.
3 Ej nu un kauj Amaleku, izdeldiet visu, kas tam pieder, un netaupi viņu, bet nokauj gan vīrus un sievas, gan bērnus un zīdāmos, gan vēršus un avis, gan kamieļus un ēzeļus.
So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
4 To Sauls tiem ļaudīm darīja zināmu un tos izskaitīja Telaīmā, divsimt tūkstoš kājnieku un desmit tūkstoš vīrus no Jūda.
So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
5 Un Sauls nāca pie Amalekiešu pilsētas, un lika kādiem pie upes slēpties. Un Sauls Keniešiem lika sacīt:
Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding in the valley.
6 Ejat, šķiraties un izejat no Amalekiešu vidus, lai es jūs līdz ar tiem neizdeldu, jo jūs esat žēlastību darījuši pie visiem Israēla bērniem, kad tie no Ēģiptes izgāja. Tā Kenieši atšķīrās no Amalekiešiem.
Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
7 Un Sauls kāva Amalekiešus no Ķeviļas līdz Šurai, kas ir šaipus Ēģiptes.
Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
8 Un viņš sagūstīja Agagu, Amalekiešu ķēniņu, dzīvu, un visus ļaudis viņš izdeldēja ar zobena asmeni.
Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
9 Bet Sauls un tie ļaudis saudzēja Agagu un tās labākās avis un vēršus un barotus lopus un jērus un visu, kas bija labs, un tos negribēja izdeldēt, bet visu, kas bija nederīgs un panīcis, to viņi izdeldēja.
They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
10 Tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Samuēli un sacīja:
Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
11 “Man ir žēl, ka Es Saulu esmu cēlis par ķēniņu, tāpēc ka viņš no Manis ir nogriezies un Manus vārdus nav izdarījis.” Tad Samuēls apskaitās un piesauca To Kungu cauru nakti.
“I am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that night.
12 Un Samuēls cēlās agri Saulam pretī pašā rītā. Un Samuēlim teica un sacīja: Sauls ir uz Karmeli nācis, un redzi, viņš sev cēlis goda stabu, un viņš ir griezies un tālāk gājis ceļā uz Gilgalu.
Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there and gone down to Gilgal.”
13 Tad Samuēls nāca pie Saula, un Sauls uz to sacīja: esi svētīts no Tā Kunga! Es Tā Kunga vārdu esmu izdarījis.
When Samuel arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
14 Tad Samuēls sacīja: bet kas tā ir par avju brēkšanu manās ausīs un kas tā ir par vēršu bļaušanu, ko es dzirdu?
But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
15 Tad Sauls sacīja: tos tie no Amalekiešiem atveduši; jo tie ļaudis labākās avis un labākos vēršus ir taupījuši par upuri Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam; bet to citu mēs esam izdeldējuši.
Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
16 Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: gan nu, es tev sacīšu, ko Tas Kungs uz mani ir runājis šo nakti. Tad tas uz viņu sacīja: runā.
Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
17 Un Samuēls sacīja: vai tas tā nav? Kad tu biji mazs savās acīs, tad tu Israēla ciltīm esi palicis par galvu, un Tas Kungs tevi ir svaidījis Israēlim par ķēniņu?
Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
18 Un Tas Kungs tevi ir sūtījis uz ceļu un sacījis: ej un izdeldi tos grēciniekus, tos Amalekiešus, un karo pret tiem, līdz kamēr tu tos visai(pilnīgi) izdeldi; -
And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
19 Kāpēc tad tu Tā Kunga balsij neesi klausījis, bet uz laupīšanu devies un darījis, kas Tam Kungam nepatīk?
So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
20 Tad Sauls sacīja uz Samuēli: es jau Tā Kunga balsij esmu klausījis un gājis to ceļu, kur Tas Kungs mani sūtījis, un Agagu, Amalekiešu ķēniņu, esmu atvedis un Amalekiešus izdeldējis.
Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
21 Bet tie ļaudis no tā laupījuma ir ņēmuši avis un vēršus, kas tie labākie bija no tā izdeldējamā, Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, upurēt Gilgalā.
My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at Gilgal.”
22 Bet Samuēls sacīja: vai tad Tam Kungam tīk dedzināmi vai kaujami upuri vairāk nekā paklausīšana Tā Kunga balsij? Redzi, paklausība ir labāka nekā upuris, un uzmanība ir labāka nekā aunu tauki.
But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
23 Jo nepaklausība ir kā zīlēšanas grēks, un patgalvība ir elkadievība un dievekļu kalpošana. Tādēļ kā tu Tā Kunga vārdu esi atmetis, tā Viņš atkal tevi ir atmetis, vairs nebūt par ķēniņu.
To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be king.”
24 Tad Sauls sacīja uz Samuēli: es esmu grēkojis, ka esmu pārkāpis Tā Kunga pavēli un tavus vārdus, jo es bijājos tos ļaudis un paklausīju viņu balsij.
Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
25 Un nu lūdzams piedod man manus grēkus un griezies ar mani atpakaļ, ka es To Kungu piesaucu.
But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
26 Bet Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: es ar tevi negriezīšos atpakaļ; tāpēc ka tu Tā Kunga vārdu esi atmetis, Tas Kungs arī tevi atmetis, ka tev nebūs ķēniņam būt pār Israēli.
But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
27 Kad nu Samuēls griezās aiziet, tad Sauls satvēra viņa svārku stūri, un tas plīsa.
As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
28 Tad Samuēls uz to sacīja: Tas Kungs šodien Israēla valstību no tevis ir noplēsis un tavam tuvākam devis, kas ir labāks nekā tu.
Samuel said to him, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
29 Un arī Israēla Patvērums nemelo nedz nožēlo, jo Viņš nav cilvēks, ka Viņam kas būtu žēl.
And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
30 Tad viņš sacīja: es esmu grēkojis; nu tad godā mani jel priekš manu ļaužu vecajiem un Israēla priekšā, un griezies ar mani atpakaļ, ka es To Kungu, tavu Dievu, pielūdzu.
Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
31 Tad Samuēls griezās atpakaļ Saulam līdz, un Sauls pielūdza To Kungu.
So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
32 Un Samuēls sacīja: atvediet man Agagu, Amalekiešu ķēniņu. Un Agags gāja pie viņa jautri un Agags sacīja: tiešām, nāves rūgtums atstājies.
Then Samuel said, “Bring King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
33 Tad Samuēls sacīja: tā kā tavs zobens sievām bērnus laupījis, tā lai tava māte pār visām sievām paliek bez bērniem. Un Samuēls sacirta Agagu gabalos Tā Kunga priekšā Gilgalā.
But Samuel said to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
34 Un Samuēls gāja uz Rāmatu, un Sauls gāja savā namā uz Saula Ģibeju.
Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
35 Un Samuēls Saulu vairs neredzēja līdz savas miršanas dienai. Taču Samuēls bija noskumis par Saulu, un ka Tam Kungam bija žēl, ka Viņš Saulu Israēlim bija cēlis par ķēniņu.
Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
